I really like the way you've done this...the color, the cropping, the lighting...very nice. She sure does look a lot like Nicole Kidman doesn't she?

Beautiful shot ! I like it! Best regards !7/7

Very fine and original work. The tones are very beautiful. Well done

Classic wonderful picture. Great contact. Lovely colors. And an exiting photoshopwork. This is a landmark.... // Greetings from Sweden

I think Jesse looks better than Nicole Kidman!!!

Thank you! It is always so good to hear from you.

This is perfect. So well done, it needs nothing.

With the cracked oil paint effect it seems like a modern Mona Lisa. I don't usually like to much Photoshop effects but yours is controlled in a very artisic way. It reminds me of Sarah Moon. Great Job!!

I don't always just use PS but I do understand what you mean by misuse of any graphic software and how it can be a turn off.

Haleh I'm not sure what you use but whatever it is Bravo!! Have you ever contacted Surface magazine to do a fashion submission. I don't know if that is something you would ever consider doing but it could work really well.

Thank you for suggesting it. I am trying to get as much exposure as I can but I am very picky. I will look into it.

Haleh, I like the interface between nature and your model here. I think you mentioned before that some of the layers you use are from nature.

I like the stronger emphasis of here while still liking its more subtle inclusion in your other work.

I really like the combination of the colours, the blue eyes, the red lipstick and green, in addition of course to her skin tones.

One small suggestion - I would raise the lower border to just below her chin. It's not that it's not close enough now of course, I just don't think it would hurt to make it tighter.

Why do you think a tighter crop will enhance the image any better?

I like it

Nothing realy to add to the comments, just simply PERFECT!

Thank you for sharing

peace

Nothing that I can really explain Haleh, just a gut thing. Honestly though, I think making it tighter would only change it a slight bit if at all.

Oh, dear dear Haley :) what can I say more than Brillant and my compliments for this one. Superb old effect and fantastic face and eyes and all. Love it. love it. love it. Bravo, bravo and Bravo... oH.. BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOO

My compliments again, Sincerly yours, Biliana

I agree with the the previous comments, just perfect!

Nicole has a longer face. She's beautiful. Nice rendering and lovely skin tones.

Your comments always make me smile!

Brilliant! I like the colors, effect and the intense look in her eyes.

Excellent dear Haleh ..Greetings from Turkey...

extremely artistic.........a wise use of ps.

Very beautiful, artistic image. I always enjoy viewing your work as you are truly an artist.

Thank you for your support.

What did you mean by.....??

Your photo talk about your skill, and your answers about your soul. Keep it for ever.

a living dream

I am Haleh and Bryan is my last name! You have your answer where it belongs.

I am planning on doing this for as long as my creativity flows.

Excllent- The texture and pattern you applied makes this a modern fresco.

Fresco has been always something I wanted to get my hands on photographically speaking. I have tried this method on a few more images which I will be putting up when I am ready. I would appreciate your future comments on them.

I will give my opinion with great pleasure,Haleh. Looking forward to them.

Excellent art work.

This is absolutely beautiful. Really a work of art. The fresco effect if breathtaking. I admire your work very much.

I have nothing to add to all the earlier comments. I love this composition not only because of its fresco-effect but because of the mixage with the craquele structure you use here. It underlines the fragility of the skin. I really love to see how the structure flows over into the natural furrows of the lips and a little bit into the right eye like small blood vessels.

It's a an absolutely wonderful piece of art.

Your close observation is greatly appreciated.

!!!

PERFECT! No more words.

Exquisite

Very FINE, pure ART! Congrats.

Your skill with Photoshop cannot be questioned, but for me, this is way too much Photoshopping and is a real turn-off. The colors are too intense and almost comic bookish. The strands of hair in her face look more like grass than hair. I like the fresco effect.

This is right up my alley.. Taking a beautiful photograph to begin with and giving it more emotion, more depth and story with the effects. I love the fresco, but it's those very colors that draw one in. They are the colors of youth and blossom of love. Beautifully piece of art.

Simply awesome. I was just clicking off the front page and this grabbed me, had to back up and take a closer look. Glad I did.

Wow. This is very engaging image. The eyes just draw me into the image. The effect adds to the intrigure. Great job.

I would love to hate this image as this is not my style of photography, but I don't. It is a triumph in all ways. Although I am sure I won't work ever time I would be interested to see more.

Congratulations

I am so happy this one did it!

Lovely piece of work!

I'd be more impressed if you did this as a double exposure on film, inside the camera. As it stands, it's a good example of basic use of Photoshop's layers.

...liking and disliking!

Those are grass, not hair!

Very well done! Congratulations.

Breat eyes and I also like the hair strands, and other visual effects. The black background offer good contrast.

Those are not hair strands. They are grass from a floral arrangement above her head.

creative and beautiful ... I really like this concept..

Excellent!love the photo and the description you gave it!!! Buick Vent Visor

Excellent. Love your application. Take care

Wonderful look,and great textures over her face.I like the strong red colour

I guess I do...a very, very good picture, in every aspect. The model, the idea, the execution, the colours, the artistic input. Thank you!

...for stopping by!

A very artistic work! Held my breath a second. :)
